Brewer Proposes 37 Million Bond Drive For Bridges And Colleges
Gov. Albert Brewer announced plans to seek nearly 37 million dollars in state bonds for bridge replacements and higher education. The package includes 25 million for bridges and 11.9 million for universities including Birmingham and Tuscaloosa medical programs. He aims to expand the University of Alabama Medical Complex and create mobiles for medical education, with a Mobile medical school and a Tuscaloosa two year program. The program prioritizes medical education to increase doctor supply, especially in rural areas, while outlining other capital outlay at Auburn and South Alabama. The plan relies on federal matching funds and legislative approval only.
